Go beyond talk to ensure road safety

An unmarked road hump at Karai, Naivasha, led to the deaths of 43 people on the night of December 11, 2016. Sadly, that appears distant today as Kenyans continue to risk their lives with near suicidal abandon.

Hawkers in some areas lay their wares on the sides of narrow bridges where there is no room for escape in cases of an emergency.
